Little Dorrit (Danish: Lille Dorrit) is a 1924 Danish silent historical drama film directed by A.W. Sandberg and starring Frederik Jensen, Karina Bell and Karen Winther.[1] It is based on the 1857 Charles Dickens' novel of the same name.

The film was made as part of an attempt to re-establish Danish cinema in the English-speaking world. While successful in Scandinavia, the film failed to do well in Britain and America.[2]

The film's art direction was by Carlo Jacobsen.[3]
